Gujarat Police have conducted 5,000 cyber safety awareness programmes as part of a month-long campaign aimed at protecting women and children from threats including deepfakes and cyberstalking, officials said.
The campaign is intended to educate vulnerable groups on recognizing and reporting online abuse, including AI-generated deepfake content that has become an increasing concern for law enforcement agencies across India. The scale of the outreach, spanning thousands of sessions, reflects a concerted push by the state police force to address rising cybercrime complaints.
The initiative comes amid a broader nationwide effort by police departments to strengthen public awareness of digital safety risks facing women and children.
Officials say the scale of the outreach reflects a deliberate effort to reach a broad cross-section of residents rather than concentrating awareness sessions in a small number of high-traffic locations.
